TITLE WAVE :: penultimate Hire A Boat ever, features recently acquired Lobsterman release of same name + channeling the Noah's Ark vibes of ironically named No Zu, and then some other stuff to fill time <3

PADDLEBOAT or "Have some water, Nathan!" :: Derry's The Cyclist was only 18 when he released his first album! It's been a privilege to track his progress and watch him grow. Join us on a journey inside him and to the centre of his large body of work...

THE BOAT THAT DOCKED :: A little Psy-Trance, curated by Ella, and thereafter the cynical Mark Pritchard who gracelessly teases DJs of low stature by not releasing his records for up to a year after the release date, so we put him back to back w Kitty pryde hahahahahaha

BOAT TO THE FUTURE || The future can be daunting without your friends. Torn Hawk, Com Truise, philistine fox trots from the 1920s, Poland's Myslovitz and other things where you can see their natural relevance to one another.

HIGH SLEAZE, LOW SIEZE :: World's End Girlfriend, Chapelier Fou, Low Sea, far more.. Don't forget to speak with your eyes, feel with your lips, smile with your teeth, and twitter.com/hireaboat is the best way to get in touch should you feel so inclined...

FLOWS BOAT WAYS || It's healthy to acknowledge that even the Queen Mary accepts a tugjob from time to time. No boat is an island... We'll bust out the "Balkanbass", sample the excellent "music of Wales", and see what happens from there.

A Surge of Santorum and the Suckatorium Moratorium || flimsy mdf partition separates two boats, one is powered by electricity and the other by hot air. fire in a sex shop, the deepest voice in the whole world, and we rub on a bit about the good work of Amnesty. Heh heh heh

THE TAMBO SUBMARINE || Torn against a rocky crag, windless in the tropics, everybody is to the rescue, kicking now to keep shipwreck afloat... nearly afloat, but towards the finish line for sure. Love is in the air, this Hire A Boat.

YOU-BOAT :: being special in a generation where everybody is special: slunk
in self-aware torment, in conflict between putting down
juvenile anxieties and being able to acknowledge them; not just
½-arsed, thought it would be appropriate to describe the
whole girls party drugs party depression drugs branding self
affirmation girls party cycle, so I decided to enlist the
help of Lone, among others.

THE PONTOON EFFECT :: Nashville punk/retro classic rock outfit, Blooddrunk Shenanigans, due on their coming tour to preside from a cage over a bare knuckle fight on a warship in international waters. Somethin boringg from Victor Oatmeal's fb feed, Beef Jerk, Phil Collins blaming someone for his wife's tragic canoeing death, the beautiful Evangelia Tsamoglu, who deserves a SMAC, Revenge of the Nerds, Polvo, and then some.....

Last weekend, I went SAAFINGU || UP TO THE GUNNELS! It's Krismas again and so Zeitgeist grappling hooks are out, surfing the web for some unusual grooves. Tim & Eric-influenced "dubstep" + ytps, brief KIM JONG IL tribute, Hood's 'Painting the Town Dead' and an anticipatory smattering of Bleep's Best 100 Tracks Of 2011 compilation! WHAT DO YOU GET FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS EVERYTHING? You HIRE A BOAT! Obviously.

TACKLED ON THE FLY || Improvised radio, in memory of radio and improvised music innovator, John Blades. Real (thoughtful) avant-garde mixed-fidelity shit on 2MBS with Angus Cornwell and Genji Sato-Fraser.

BARQUE BYTE DEBACLE || Jean Michelle Jarre, Eno/Byrne; forbears of the blip n bop n spectacle what we now know as 'music'... and tonight's AMRAP community service special: Kubist Gong Band (Perth), described as "Experimental, tropical, trance..."

NOTIONS BOUT THE MOTIONS OF THE OCEANS || In the time of Galileo, asserting that the moon affected the tides was thought to be a reversion to archaic mysticism. New Balam Acab, but first off the quay is Moonchild! Also it's the 13th, so the moon would have it that waters may be choppy, production-wise.

THE FBI WILL NEVER BUILD A BETTER BOAT // My boat dominates the feds for all real x ||
Bud Petal's new single, Gold Panda, Polyfox, Venetian Snares, Holy Other, Jamie XX and other places where a fast boat beats small pond legends well out of the water.

let me tell you about my boat

Formerly RRivkin's super yacht, Hire A Boat offers unmatched comfort and power for traversing the badlands of the audible spectrum, as well as a melancholic disposition and a handy claw. Whether you're hiding out in international waters or dry-docked at the bottom of the harbour, Hire A Boat prevails over the breaks, thundering and enlightening. But make no mistake - Hire A Boat is not a showboat.

More accessible than you think, Hire A Boat offers offerings to cater to any lack of taste, no matter how dire, and themed tours run fortnightly over any number of levels. And with a vessel of so many decks (stories tall!), the annals and the canals of our fortnights aural territory - be it a dark rainforest deep in the yellow continent, or the gaudy, bauble-tripping houses that line the bay at Christmas time - shall never again feel safe from badly camouflaged voyeurs, circumspectaerbating in the periscopery. Book now.
